Birds of Passage.

On Sunday last we noticed large
flock of swallows string along the
railroad, perched on the telegraph
wires and neighboring trees twittering
and occasionally darling off in short
circular flights; evidently an excited
and expectant party on the eve of
their fall migratory fight to southern,
sunny chimes. They appeared filled
with excitement and expectancy, not
unlike company of people about to
take up their march for another land
whose golden promise seen in the
mirage of the future lures them on.
All the martins in section will
soon assemble at some central point
where they will meet and roost in
company nightly for two or three
nights and suddenly disappear. These
migrations of gregarious birds annu.
ally take place from tn cir summer
nesting places, and in the spring as
regularly they meet in their tropical
winter homes and prepare to migrate
north to the cool and shady groves
in middle and northern states, and
beyond these further toward the north
pole, where the wild duck and geese
find safe retreat from dangerous

A Horrible Railroad Murder.

On Wednesday night OF last week
a heavy passenger train on the To!e-
do, Peoria and Western Railroad in
Illinois near the town of Chatsworth,
while running at 80 miles an hour
plunged into burning bridge over a
chasm. The bridge gave way and
the cars were piled on top of one
another burying and crushing their
living freight beneath them. Nearly
hundred persons we're Immediately
killed and several hundred wounded.
Over 700 excursionists bound for
Niagara Falls were on the train, the
halt of whom were killed or wounded.
The fire of the burning timbers OF the
bridge was put out.by the men smoth
ering it with dirt which they tore up
withtheir naked hand, having no
tools to work with. The bridge was
either fred by theburning gras or Goals
from a freight engine, or by incen
diaries. The latter theory is held by
the railroad company, but is not gen
orally credited. Gross carelesness
on the part of the company is attrib'
uted as the cause of the accident.

RE chickens on the wild plains of
that state. cartridges in the stubble
and rough grouse among the wilder
mountains of the Blue Ridge. A
household pet, ever watchfnl and ev-
er faithful, he grew up from puphood
to doghood the constant companion
Of the children, and was never more
happy than when they were tumbling
over him, sitting On aim, tramping
his toes and pincing his ears. When
hurt by this rude play he would whine
and complain but with never tooth
would he touch their little hands or
limbs If for wrong doing he was
punished sometimes lie submitted
humbly to the chastisement; but if
unjustly dealt with he protested
against the wrong with a whining
complaint and looks that spoke more
eloquent than words. Where the
family went in its wanderings he was
ever present, travelling thousands of
miles in the railroad car and stage
coach. When night drew its curtains
over the world and the household was
wrapped in sleep, Prairie was senti
nal ever on guard that no intruder
passed unchallenged, and behind his
gentle loving nature there stood a
courage that was ready to face death
without flinching or moments hest.

The years of dog are few compar
ed to those of man, and at ten age
had perceptibly stolen upon him and
he preferred an open gate to leaping
fences and greatly enjoyed a short
walk with one of the family he had
learned to love so we'll, rather than
securing the fields in winding circles
and zig gag lines in search Of game.
We had hoped that a friend so
faithful and true, endeared by the
many vicissitudes and associations Of
the checkered years that have gone,
might he spared to remain with us
till nature. in her own good time
should call him hence, but such was
not to be. Some fell hand had scat
tered poison by carelessness or de-
sign, which in an unfortunate moment
the poor old fellow came upon. A
few painful paroxysms followed and
his eyes closed for ever.
He who scatters poison where his
neighbors' animals are at any time Ii
able to find it, disregards the happi-
ness and welfare of those neighbors,
is not good citizen or moral man.
We buried him in the garden and
dropped tear on his humble grave
in recognition of the noble and true,
virtues so precious and rare that they
should receive recognition whether
found in man or his faithful animals !!
Noble animal take thee all in all thy
like we shall never meet again. Thy
memory like a golden thread is WOW
en- with the fitful changing scenes of
many anxious years.
